  1. "In October 1999 Chief of Staff Gen. Eric K. Shinseki annunced that the Army will develop two technology-enhanced, fast-deployable and lethal brigades at Fort Lewis WA using knowledge gained by Force XXI experiments and off-the-shelf technology available from the private sector. Additionally, heavy tracked vehicles like armored personnel carriers and tanks would be replaced out by lighter, faster, more fuel-efficient wheeled vehicles"

    This says it all.

    I don't understand why these threads always become a Stryker vs. Armour thread.

    Strykers and the Stryker Brigades were never designed as replacements for Armoured units, they are light mobile units which span the gap between light air mobile infantry and heavy armour division.

    Strykers and Armour would both have a role to play in a conventional war.

    Well, I dont agree with your opinion. As soon as I found out that Strykers were coming, I started reading in Army Times and various other official publications that Armor was going away, decreasing in size. For example, my own Armor unit was disbanded and we became ADA, and later MPs.

    When you bring in vehicle like Stryker, other combat vehicle specialties like M1A1 Abrams crew member suffer

  3. Hey my friends at BFC

    Could you please add this Stryker variant?

    The Engineer Squad Vehicle (ESV) provides maneuver/mobility support capabilities, which include obstacle clearing, in-stride breaching of surface mines, proofing of subsurface mines and smoke generation for local protection. This would add mine-field breaching ability to US forces, plus smoke. Pretty please??

    Also, mine plow/roller Abrams can be added

    And how about MRAPs like the Cougar?

    I know you have larger issues right now then adding realistic engineer support in the game,but maybe you can think about it?
